Selling
How to sell your robot: photos, a video and a fair price
RoboResale
Robots are expensive and buyers are careful. A good listing answers their questions before they ask. Here's what to include.
Buying a used robot means trusting a stranger with thousands of euros. The listings that sell show the robot clearly, prove it works and explain its history.
Photos
- Every side, in daylight, on a plain background.
- The nameplate or serial number label.
- Everything included: charger, batteries, remote, cables and case.
- Any wear or damage, up close.
A video that proves it works
Film the robot powering on and doing its main job: walking, gripping or running a program. Show a note with the date and your listing's code in the same shot. Swappa asks its sellers to photograph each item next to a unique code for the same reason.
A short video of the robot working is the most convincing thing you can add to a listing.
A fair price
Check what the robot costs new today and how long delivery takes, then look at listings for the same version. Then show your price clearly in the listing.
Before you hand it over
- Remove the robot from your app account and reset it.
- Back up anything you want to keep, then delete your data.
- Charge the battery and pack the robot as it arrived, ideally in its original box.
